19 JULY 2023Being a reliable and trusted compounding pharmacy choice for veterinarians and pet owners across the US, everyone on the VetMedics team is dedicated to ensuring that pets are treated with care, compassion, and respect. From working with exotic animals to horses to everything in between, VetMedics has built a reputation for treating household pets, rescue animals, and zoo animals with the kindness and customized medication they deserve.In one instance, VetMedics helped a cat parent who couldn't afford chemotherapy to treat her pet's cancer with a cream they compounded. "I did my research and found an article by a veterinarian online about a specific cream for squamous cell carcinoma that could be applied topically as an alternative to chemotherapy. Using the cream, the cat was healed completely, and the pet owner wrote an emotional letter thanking us," says Cantalino.Bringing more than a decade of experience as a leader in the compounding space, VetMedics established itself as the Brooks Brothers of compounding. With a commitment to the quality of medications and the safety of animals, VetMedics compounds sterile preparations in its state-of-the-art ISO class-5 sterile suite."Pharmacists receive compounding training while in pharmacy school, but this training is not veterinary-specific. Veterinary compounding mandates pharmacists with great knowledge to properly verify prescriptions that are received at their practice site while keeping with the most up-to-date guidelines related to animal and human health. Our team takes online courses in addition to extensive and participatory training by visiting zoos, farms, rescues, and shelters to gain a higher level of expertise in veterinary medicine and stay ahead of the curve," explains Cantalino.Having seen first-hand the healthcare supply chain disruption caused by the pandemic, VetMedics has grown as a leading pet pharmacy in the US. It has removed the void caused by vet drug shortages by compounding individualized dosage forms superior to the discontinued formulations from pharmaceutical-grade ingredients. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology to prepare specialized medicine using various chemicals and equipment available and making medication administration easier for both the parent and pet, VetMedics is expecting exponential growth by 2030. We formulate medications ranging from tablets and capsules, liquid suspensions, transdermal gels, and otic preparations to chewy treats. We also adjust the color, smell, flavor, texture, and consistency of medication to be more appealing to the pets' tastes
